Chenango Forks High School was awarded the Silver Medal Distinction by the U.S. News and World Report for the third year in a row. Of the 1,270 high schools in New York State, Chenango Forks High School was ranked #202 and #2,580 out of more than 28,000 nationally. Just over 6,000 schools were awarded medals of distinction in this year’s rankings.

The rankings and medal awards were determined by performance on state assessments in math and reading, college readiness determined by the participation of seniors in at least one AP course during high school during the 2014-15 school year, and the high school’s graduation rate.

The top 500 schools received gold medals, ranks 501 to 2,609 received silver, and ranks 2,610 to 6,041 received bronze.
